What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns through wild vegetation like forests or grasslands. They often start during dry seasons when lightning or heat ignites dry leaves and wood. Once a fire begins, wind can move the flames across the landscape, helping the fire grow and spread.

Stay indoors with windows closed to keep out smoke and follow all instructions from local emergency services.
